<p>Hey everybody.</p>
<p>I submitted my RD application and writing supplement through the Common App yesterday, and according to the Duke website I should receive an email with instructions on how to log into the application tracker on their website.</p>
<p>Does anybody know how long it takes for this email to be sent out? Is it usually within a week of the application being sent in?</p>
<p>Many thanks!</p>
<p>I applied last night as well - still waiting. I think it usually takes about 1-2 days.</p>
<p>Please consider that 2019’s RD application submittal peaks in the last couple weeks (or ten days) of December; in addition, even admissions personnel have families, holiday season requirements, scheduled travel and vacation, and so forth . Accordingly, it just might take a few days more to receive your log-in instructions than it would have in, perhaps, November. Be patient and mature, however; every year a few individuals semi-panic awaiting this, and every year the problem is resolved without any intervention or issues.</p>

<p>Just got the email. Made my account on SISS and checked my to-do list, but for some reason it says that everything (including my Common App essay and supplements) is incomplete. Is just something that’ll take time to update? </p>
<p>@GodMode: Of course; how many applications (and how much substantiating data) do you suspect Duke Undergraduate Admissions has received in the last week?</p>
<p>@TopTier A huge amount…because Duke is just that good.</p>
